Le miserable M by Victor Hugo
Speaker:
00:02:41
chapter three Luke Esprit ah,
Speaker:
00:02:45
at the age of 16, one
Speaker:
00:02:48
evening at the opera, he had had the honor to be.
Speaker:
00:02:51
>> Brie Carlisle: Stared at through opera glasses by two.
Speaker:
00:02:52
>> Brie Carlisle: Beauties at the same time, ripe and
Speaker:
00:02:55
celebrated. Beauties then, and sung by
Speaker:
00:02:58
Voltaire, the Camargo and the Salle.
Speaker:
00:03:01
Caught between two fires, he had beaten a heroic retreat
Speaker:
00:03:04
towards a little dancer, a young girl named
Speaker:
00:03:07
Nahenry, who was 16, like himself,
Speaker:
00:03:10
obscure as a cat, and with whom he was in
Speaker:
00:03:13
love, he abounded in memories.
Speaker:
00:03:16
He was accustomed to exclaim how pretty she
Speaker:
00:03:19
was, that Giamard,
Speaker:
00:03:21
Giamardini, Giamard. The last time
Speaker:
00:03:24
I saw her at long champs, her hair curled in sustained
Speaker:
00:03:27
sentiments, with her come and see of
Speaker:
00:03:29
turquoises, her gown of the color of persons
Speaker:
00:03:32
newly arrived, and her little agitated muff
Speaker:
00:03:35
he had worn in his young manhood a waistcoat of nin
Speaker:
00:03:38
Londren, which he was fond of talking about
Speaker:
00:03:41
effusively. I was dressed like a Turk of the
Speaker:
00:03:43
Levant. Levanton, said he, Madame de
Speaker:
00:03:46
Boefflers, having seen him by chance when he was
Speaker:
00:03:49
20, had described him as a charming
Speaker:
00:03:51
fool. He was horrified by all the names which he
Speaker:
00:03:54
saw in politics and in power, regarding them as
Speaker:
00:03:57
vulgar and burgoyne. He read the journals,
Speaker:
00:04:00
the newspapers, the gazettes, as he said,
Speaker:
00:04:03
stifling outbursts of laughter the while.
Speaker:
00:04:06
Oh, he said, what people these
Speaker:
00:04:08
are. Corbire humane. Casimir
Speaker:
00:04:11
Pierre, theres a minister for
Speaker:
00:04:14
you. I can imagine this in a journal. Monsieur de
Speaker:
00:04:16
Lenormand. Minister? That would be a farce.
Speaker:
00:04:19
Well, theyre so stupid that it would pass.
Speaker:
00:04:23
He merrily called everything by its name, whether
Speaker:
00:04:25
decent or indecent, and did not restrain himself in the
Speaker:
00:04:28
least. Before ladies, he uttered coarse
Speaker:
00:04:31
speeches, obscenities and filth with a certain
Speaker:
00:04:34
tranquillity and lack of astonishment, which was
Speaker:
00:04:36
elegant. It was in keeping with the
Speaker:
00:04:39
unceremoniousness of his century. It is
Speaker:
00:04:42
to be noted that the age of paraphrase in verse
Speaker:
00:04:45
was the age of crudities in prose. His
Speaker:
00:04:48
godfather had predicted that he would turn out a man of genius.
Speaker:
00:04:51
Then it bestowed on him these two significant
Speaker:
00:04:54
Luke Esprit.
